About the Manual
General Information
This Service Manual is intended to aid in determining the cause of engine related problems and to provide recommended repair procedures. Additionally the manual is intended to aid mechanics in disassembly, inspecting parts for reuse, rebuilding and assembly of components.
The manual is divided into sections. Each section is equivalent to a group used in Cummins' filmcard system. Some sections contain reference numbers and procedure numbers. Reference numbers provide general information, specifications, diagrams, and service tools where applicable. Procedure numbers are used to identify and reference specific repair procedures for correcting the problem and describe specific rebuild procedures.
This manual does not contain fuel systems electronic troubleshooting. Use the troubleshooting trees in this manual, if there are no electronic fault codes.
This manual is designed so the troubleshooting trees are used to locate the cause of an engine problem. The troubleshooting trees then direct the user to the correct repair procedure. The repair procedures within a section are in numerical order. However, the repair steps within a given procedure are organized in the order the repair must be performed regardless of the numerical order of the steps. The user must use the contents pages or the index at the back of the manual to locate specific topics when not using the troubleshooting trees.

General Safety Instructions
Important Safety Notice
WARNING
Improper practices, carelessness, or ignoring the warnings can cause burns, cuts, mutilation, asphyxiation or other personal injury or death.
Read and understand all of the safety precautions and warnings before performing any repair. This list contains the general safety precautions that must be followed to provide personal safety. Special safety precautions are included in the procedures when they apply.
• Work in an area surrounding the product that is dry, well lit, ventilated, free from clutter, loose tools, parts, ignition sources and hazardous substances. Be aware of hazardous conditions that can exist.
• Always wear protective glasses and protective shoes when working.
• Rotating parts can cause cuts, mutilation or strangulation.
• Do not wear loose-fitting or torn clothing. Remove all jewelry when working.
• Disconnect the battery (negative [-] cable first) and discharge any capacitors before beginning any repair work.
Disconnect the air starting motor if equipped to prevent accidental engine starting. Put a "Do Not Operate" tag in the operator's compartment or on the controls.
• Use ONLY the proper engine barring techniques for manually rotating the engine. Do not attempt to rotate the crankshaft by pulling or prying on the fan. This practice can cause serious personal injury, property damage, or damage to the fan blade(s) causing premature fan failure.
• If an engine has been operating and the coolant is hot, allow the engine to cool before slowly loosening the filler cap to relieve the pressure from the cooling system.
• Always use blocks or proper stands to support the product before performing any service work. Do not work on anything that is supported ONLY by lifting jacks or a hoist.
• Relieve all pressure in the air, oil, fuel, and cooling systems before any lines, fittings, or related items are removed or disconnected. Be alert for possible pressure when disconnecting any device from a system that utilizes pressure. Do not check for pressure leaks with your hand. High pressure oil or fuel can cause personal injury.
• To reduce the possibility of suffocation and frostbite, wear protective clothing and ONLY disconnect liquid refrigerant (Freon) lines in a well ventilated area. To protect the environment, liquid refrigerant systems must be properly emptied and filled using equipment that prevents the release of refrigerant gas (fluorocarbons) into the atmosphere. Federal law requires capturing and recycling refrigerant.
• To reduce the possibility of personal injury, use a hoist or get assistance when lifting components that weigh 23 kg
[50 lb] or more. Make sure all lifting devices such as chains, hooks, or slings are in good condition and are of the correct capacity. Make sure hooks are positioned correctly. Always use a spreader bar when necessary. The lifting hooks must not be side-loaded.
• Corrosion inhibitor, a component of SCA and lubricating oil, contains alkali. Do not get the substance in eyes.
Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Do not swallow internally. In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and water. In case of contact, immediately flood eyes with large amounts of water for a minimum of
15 minutes. IMMEDIATELY CALL A PHYSICIAN. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
• Naptha and Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) are flammable materials and must be used with caution. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to provide complete safety when using these materials. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN.
• To reduce the possibility of burns, be alert for hot parts on products that have just been turned off, exhaust gas flow, and hot fluids in lines, tubes, and compartments.
• Always use tools that are in good condition. Make sure you understand how to use the tools before performing any service work. Use ONLY genuine Cummins® or Cummins ReCon® replacement parts.
• Always use the same fastener part number (or equivalent) when replacing fasteners. Do not use a fastener of lesser quality if replacements are necessary.
• When necessary, the removal and replacement of any guards covering rotating components, drives, and/or belts should only be carried out be a trained technician. Before removing any guards the engine must be turned off and any starting mechanisms must be isolated. All fasteners must be replaced on re-fitting the guards.
• Do not perform any repair when fatigued or after consuming alcohol or drugs that can impair your functioning.

Section i - Introduction
General Cleaning Instructions
Definition of Clean
Parts must be free of debris that can contaminate any engine system. This does not necessarily mean they have to appear as new.
Sanding gasket surfaces until the factory machining marks are disturbed adds no value and is often harmful to forming a seal. It is important to maintain surface finish and flatness tolerances to form a quality sealing surface. Gaskets are designed to fill small voids in the specified surface finish.
Sanding gasket surfaces where edge-molded gaskets are used is most often unnecessary. Edge-molded gaskets are those metal carriers with sealing material bonded to the edges of the gasket to seal while the metal portion forms a metal to metal joint for stability. Any of the small amounts of sealing material that can stick to the parts are better removed with a blunt-edged scraper on the spots rather than spending time polishing the whole surface with an air sander or disc.
For those gaskets that do not have the edge molding, nearly all have a material that contains release agents to prevent sticking. Certainly this is not to say that some gaskets are not difficult to remove because the gasket has been in place a long time, has been overheated or the purpose of the release agent has been defeated by the application of some sealant. The object however is just to remove the gasket without damaging the surfaces of the mating parts without contaminating the engine (don't let the little bits fall where they can not be removed).
Bead blasting piston crowns until the dark stain is removed is unnecessary. All that is required is to remove the carbon build-up above the top ring and in the ring grooves. There is more information on bead blasting and piston cleaning later in this document.
Cummins Inc. does not recommend sanding or grinding the carbon ring at the top of cylinder liners until clean metal is visible. The liner will be ruined and any signs of a problem at the top ring reversal point (like a dust-out) will be destroyed. It is necessary to remove the carbon ring to provide for easier removal of the piston assembly. A medium bristle, high quality, steel wire wheel that is rated above the rpm of the power tool being used will be just as quick and there will be less damage. Yes, one must look carefully for broken wires after the piston is removed but the wires are more visible and can be attracted by a magnet.
Oil on parts that have been removed from the engine will attract dirt in the air. The dirt will adhere to the oil. If possible, leave the old oil on the part until it is ready to be cleaned, inspected and installed, and then clean it off along with any attracted dirt. If the part is cleaned then left exposed it can have to be cleaned again before installation. Make sure parts are lubricated with clean oil before installation. They do not need to be oiled all over but do need oil between moving parts (or a good lube system priming process conducted before cranking the engine).
Bead blasting parts to remove exterior paint is also usually unnecessary. The part will most likely be painted again so all that needs happen is remove any loose paint.
Abrasive Pads and Abrasive Paper
The keyword here is "abrasive". There is no part of an engine designed to withstand abrasion. That is they are all supposed to lock together or slide across each other. Abrasives and dirt particles will degrade both functions.
WARNING
Abrasive material must be kept out of or removed from oil passages and parts wear points. Abrasive material in oil passages can cause bearing and bushing failures that can progress to major component damage beyond reuse. This is particularly true of main and rod bearings.
Cummins Inc. does not recommend the use of emery cloth or sand paper on any part of an assembled engine or component including but not limited to removing the carbon ridge from cylinder liners or to clean block decks or counterbores.
Great care must be taken when using abrasive products to clean engine parts, particularly on partially assembled engines. Abrasive cleaning products come in many forms and sizes. All of them contain aluminum oxide particles, silicon carbide, or sand or some other similar hard material. These particles are harder than most of the parts in the engine. Since they are harder, if they are pressed against softer material they will either damage the material or become embedded in it. These materials fall off the holding media as the product is used. If the products are used with power equipment the particles are thrown about the engine. If the particles fall between two moving parts, damage to the moving parts is likely.
If particles that are smaller than the clearance between the parts while they are at rest (engine stopped), but larger than the running clearance then damage will occur when the parts move relative to each other (engine started). While the engine is running and there is oil pressure, particles that are smaller than the bearing clearance are likely to pass between the parts without damage and be trapped in the oil filter. However, particles larger than the bearing clearance will remove material from one part and can become embedded in one of the parts. Once embedded in one part it will

Section i - Introduction
General Cleaning Instructions
Page i-13 abrade the other part until contact is no longer being made between the two parts. If the damage sufficiently degrades the oil film, the two parts will come into contact resulting in early wear-out or failure from lack of effective lubrication.
Abrasive particles can fly about during cleaning it is very important to block these particles from entering the engine as much as possible. This is particularly true of lubricating oil ports and oil drilling holes, especially those located downstream of the lubricating oil filters. Plug the holes instead of trying to blow the abrasive particles and debris with compressed air because the debris is often simply blown further into the oil drilling.
All old gasket material must be removed from the parts gasket surfaces. However, it is not necessary to clean and polish the gasket surface until the machining marks are erased. Excessive sanding or buffing can damage the gasket surface. Many newer gaskets are of the edge molded type (a steel carrier with a sealing member bonded to the steel).
What little sealing material that can adhere is best removed with a blunt-edged scraper or putty knife. Cleaning gasket surfaces where an edge-molded gasket is used with abrasive pads or paper is usually a waste of time.
WARNING
Excessive sanding or grinding the carbon ring from the top of the cylinder liners can damage the liner beyond reuse. The surface finish will be damaged and abrasive particles can be forced into the liner material which can cause early cylinder wear-out or piston ring failures.
Tape off or plug all openings to any component interior before using abrasive pads or wire brushes. If really necessary because of time to use a power tool with abrasive pads, tape the oil drillings closed or use plug and clean as much of the surface as possible with the tool but clean around the oil hole/opening by hand so as to prevent contamination of the drilling. Then remove the tape or plug and clean the remaining area carefully and without the tool. DO NOT use compressed air to blow the debris out of oil drilling on an assembled engine! More likely than not , the debris can be blown further into the drilling. Using compressed air is fine if both ends of the drilling are open but that is rarely the case when dealing with an assembled engine.
Gasket Surfaces
The object of cleaning gasket surfaces is to remove any gasket material, not refinish the gasket surface of the part.
Cummins Inc. does not recommend any specific brand of liquid gasket remover. If a liquid gasket remover is used, check the directions to make sure the material being cleaned will not be harmed.
Air powered gasket scrapers can save time but care must be taken to not damage the surface. The angled part of the scraper must be against the gasket surface to prevent the blade from digging into the surface. Using air powered gasket scrapers on parts made of soft materials takes skill and care to prevent damage.
Do not scrape or brush across the gasket surface if at all possible.
Solvent and Acid Cleaning
Several solvent and acid-type cleaners can be used to clean the disassembled engine parts (other than pistons. See
Below). Experience has shown that the best results can be obtained using a cleaner that can be heated to 90° to 95°
Celsius (180° to 200° Fahrenheit). Kerosene emulsion based cleaners have different temperature specifications, see below. A cleaning tank that provides a constant mixing and filtering of the cleaning solution will give the best results.
Cummins Inc. does not recommend any specific cleaners. Always follow the cleaner manufacturer's instructions.
Remove all the gasket material, o-rings, and the deposits of sludge, carbon, etc., with a wire brush or scraper before putting the parts in a cleaning tank. Be careful not to damage any gasket surfaces. When possible, steam clean the parts before putting them in the cleaning tank.
WARNING
When using solvents, acids, or alkaline materials for cleaning, follow the manufacturers recommendations for use. Wear goggles and protective clothing to reduce the possibility of personal injury.
Experience has shown that kerosene emulsion based cleaners perform the best to clean pistons. These cleaners should not be heated to temperature in excess of 77°C (170°F). The solution begins to break down at temperatures in excess of 82°C (180°F) and will be less effective.
Do not use solutions composed mainly of chlorinated hydrocarbons with cresols, phenols and/or cresylic components.
They often do not do a good job of removing deposits from the ring groove and are costly to dispose of properly.
Solutions with a pH above approximately 9.5 will cause aluminum to turn black; therefore do not use high alkaline solutions.
Chemicals with a pH above 7.0 are considered alkaline and those below 7.0 are acidic. As you move further away from the neutral 7.0, the chemicals become highly alkaline or highly acidic.
Remove all the gasket material, o-rings, and the deposits of sludge, carbon, etc., with a wire brush or scraper before putting the parts in a cleaning tank. Be careful to not damage any gasket surfaces. When possible use hot high

Section i - Introduction pressure water or steam clean the parts before putting them in the cleaning tank. Removing the heaviest dirt before placing in the tank will allow the cleaner to work more effectively and the cleaning agent will last longer.
Rinse all the parts in hot water after cleaning. Dry completely with compressed air. Blow the rinse water from all the capscrew holes and the oil drillings.
If the parts are not to be used immediately after cleaning, dip them in a suitable rust proofing compound. The rust proofing compound must be removed from the parts before assembly or installation on the engine.
Steam Cleaning
Steam cleaning can be used to remove all types of dirt that can contaminate the cleaning tank. It is a good method for cleaning the oil drillings and coolant passages
WARNING
When using a steam cleaner, wear safety glasses or a face shield, as well as protective clothing. Hot steam can cause serious personal injury.
Do not steam clean the following components:
• Electrical Components
• Wiring Harnesses
• Belts and Hoses
• Bearings (ball or taper roller)
• Electronic Control Module (ECM)
• ECM Connectors
• Capacitive Coil Driver Module (CCD)
• Ignition Coils and Leads
• NOx Sensor
• Fuel Control Valve
• Throttle Driver and Actuator.
Plastic Bead Cleaning
Cummins Inc. does not recommend the use of glass bead blast or walnut shell media on any engine part. Cummins
Inc. recommends using only plastic bead media, Part Number 3822735 or equivalent on any engine part. Never use sand as a blast media to clean engine parts. Glass and walnut shell media when not used to the media manufacturer's recommendations can cause excess dust and can embed in engine parts that can result in premature failure of components through abrasive wear.
Plastic bead cleaning can be used on many engine components to remove carbon deposits. The cleaning process is controlled by the use of plastic beads, the operating pressure and cleaning time.
CAUTION
Do not use bead blasting cleaning methods on aluminum pistons skirts or the pin bores in any piston, piston skirt or piston crown. Small particles of the media will embed in the aluminum or other soft metal and result in premature wear of the cylinder liner, piston rings, pins and pin bores. Valves, turbocharger shafts, etc., can also be damaged. Follow the cleaning directions listed in the procedures.
CAUTION
Do not contaminate wash tanks and tank type solvent cleaners with the foreign material and plastic beads.
Remove the foreign material and plastic beads with compressed air, hot high pressure water or steam before placing them in tanks or cleaners. The foreign material and plastic beads can contaminate the tank and any other engine parts cleaned in the tank. Contaminated parts may cause failures from abrasive wear.
Plastic bead blasting media, Part Number 3822735, can be used to clean all piston ring grooves. Do not sure any bead blasting media on piston pin bores or aluminum skirts.
Follow the equipment manufacturer's cleaning instructions. Make sure to adjust the air pressure in the blasting machine to the bead manufacturer's recommendations. Turning up the pressure can move material on the part and cause the plastic bead media to wear out more quickly. The following guidelines can be used to adapt to manufacturer's instructions:
1 Bead size: U.S. size Number 16 — 20 for piston cleaning with plastic bead media, Part Number 3822735

2 Operating Pressure — 270 kPa (40 psi) for piston cleaning. Pressure should not cause beads to break.
3 Steam clean or wash the parts with solvent to remove all of the foreign material and plastic beads after cleaning.
Rinse with hot water. Dry with compressed air.
CAUTION
The bead blasting operation must not disturb the metal surface. If the metal surface is disturbed the engine can be damaged due to increased parts clearance or inadequate surface finish on parts that move against other parts.
When cleaning pistons, it is not necessary to remove all the dark stain from the piston. All that is necessary is to remove the carbon on the rim and in the ring grooves. This is best done by directing the blast across the part as opposed to straight at the part. If the machining marks are disturbed by the blasting process, then the pressure is too high or the blast is being held on one spot too long. The blast operation must not disturb the metal surface.
Walnut shell bead blast material is sometimes used to clean ferrous metals (iron and steel). Walnut shell blasting produces a great amount of dust particularly when the pressure if the air pressure on the blasting machine is increased above media manufacturer's recommendation. Cummins Inc. recommends not using walnut shell media to clean engine parts due to the risk media embedment and subsequent contamination of the engine.
Cummins Inc. now recommends glass bead media NOT used to clean any engine parts. Glass media is too easily embedded into the material particularly in soft materials and when air pressures greater than media manufacturer's recommend are used. The glass is an abrasive so when it is in a moving part, that part is abrading all the parts in contact with it. When higher pressures are used the media is broken and forms a dust of a very small size that floats easily in the air. This dust is very hard to control in the shop, particularly if only compressed air (and not hot water) is used to blow the media after it is removed from the blasting cabinet (blowing the part off inside the cabinet may remove large accumulations but never removes all the media).
Bead blasting is best used on stubborn dirt/carbon build-up that has not been removed by first steam/higher pressure washing then washing in a heated wash tank. This is particularly true of pistons. Steam and soak the pistons first then use the plastic bead method to safely remove the carbon remaining in the grooves (instead of running the risk of damaging the surface finish of the groove with a wire wheel or end of a broken piston ring. Make sure the parts are dry and oil free before bead blasting to prevent clogging the return on the blasting machine.
Always direct the bead blaster nozzle "across" rather than directly at the part. This allows the bead to get under the unwanted material. Keep the nozzle moving rather than hold on one place. Keeping the nozzle directed at one-place too long causes the metal to heat up and be moved around. Remember that the spray is not just hitting the dirt or carbon. If the machining marks on the piston groove or rim have been disturbed then there has not been enough movement of the nozzle and/or the air pressure is too high.
Never bead blast valve stems. Tape or use a sleeve to protect the stems during bead blasting. Direct the nozzle across the seat surface and radius rather than straight at them. The object is to remove any carbon build up and continuing to blast to remove the stain is a waste of time.
Fuel System
When servicing any fuel system components, which can be exposed to potential contaminants, prior to disassembly, clean the fittings, mounting hardware, and the area around the component to be removed. If the surrounding areas are not cleaned, dirt or contaminants can be introduced into the fuel system.
The internal drillings of some injectors are extremely small and susceptible to plugging from contamination. Some fuel injection systems can operate at very high pressures. High pressure fuel can convert simple particles of dirt and rust into a highly abrasive contaminant that can damage the high pressure pumping components and fuel injectors.
Electrical contact cleaner can be used if steam cleaning tools are not available. Use electrical contact cleaner rather than compressed air, to wash dirt and debris away from fuel system fittings. Diesel fuel on exposed fuel system parts attracts airborne contaminants.
Choose lint free towels for fuel system work.
Cap and plug fuel lines, fittings, and ports whenever the fuel system is opened. Rust, dirt, and paint can enter the fuel system whenever a fuel line or other component is loosened or removed from the engine. In many instances, a good practice is to loosen a line or fitting to break the rust and paint loose, and then clean off the loosened material.
When removing fuel lines or fittings from a new or newly-painted engine, make sure to remove loose paint flakes/chips that can be created when a wrench contacts painted line nuts or fittings, or when quick disconnect fittings are removed.
Fuel filters are rated in microns. The word micron is the abbreviation for a micrometer, or one millionth of a meter. The micron rating is the size of the smallest particles that will be captured by the filter media. As a reference, a human hair

Section i - Introduction is 76 microns [0.003 in] in diameter. One micron measures 0.001 mm [0.00004 in.]. The contaminants being filtered out are smaller than can be seen with the human eye, a magnifying glass, or a low powered microscope.
The tools used for fuel system troubleshooting and repair are to be cleaned regularly to avoid contamination. Like fuel system parts, tools that are coated with oil or fuel attract airborne contaminants. Remember the following points regarding your fuel system tools:
• Fuel system tools are to be kept as clean as possible.
• Clean and dry the tools before returning them to the tool box.
• If possible, store fuel system tools in sealed containers.
• Make sure fuel system tools are clean before use.

Connecting Rods
This familiarization section helps to identify and orient the various styles of ISB connecting rods for installation. These details are important because some connecting rods are not marked with a part number and identification can be difficult. This section will also discuss the acceptability of mixing connecting rods with different part numbers to make a repair.
B Series engines use various connecting rods installed in different orientations, depending on where and when the engine was built. Generally, connecting rods should be installed in the same orientation as they were prior to removal.
In special circumstances, this familiarization section may be referenced as a guideline.
The following information illustrates connecting rod styles and orientations for the Cummins® B Series 3.9 Liter (4 cylinder) and 5.9 Liter (6 cylinder) engines.
Each illustration shows the connecting rod and camshaft
(1) as viewed from the front of the engine. The connecting rod capscrew holes help define the orientation of the connecting rod to the camshaft. One side of the rod has a through hole (2) and the other has a blind hole (3). The through hole is drilled through the rod. The blind hole is drilled into the rod and does not have an exit hole.
There are two possible orientations for the connecting rod:
• Through hole (2) toward the camshaft
• Blind hole (3) toward the camshaft.

Fuel System - Overview (005-999)
General Information
The fuel system is a high-pressure common rail electronically controlled fuel system. The high-pressure common rail system consists of four main components: Fuel pump gear pump, high-pressure pump, fuel rail, and injectors. The high-pressure pump supplies high-pressure fuel to the fuel rail independent of engine speed. The high-pressure fuel is then accumulated in the fuel rail. High-pressure fuel is constantly supplied to the injectors by the fuel rail. The electronic control module (ECM) controls the fueling and timing of the engine by actuating the injectors.
On the low pressure side of the fuel system, some engines contain a fuel cooled ECM cooling plate and/or an electric lift pump. Automotive and industrial applications with an ECM cooling plate are laid out so that fuel enters the ECM cooling plate, if equipped, from the original equipment manufacturers (OEM) fuel supply line connection. After exiting the ECM cooling plate, fuel may flow into an electric fuel transfer pump, if equipped. Marine applications are laid out opposite to this flow, such that fuel flows through the electric fuel transfer pump prior to the ECM cooling plate.
For engines with an electric lift pump, the fuel/water separating fuel filter is located between the outlet of the electric lift pump (outlet of fuel cooled ECM cooling plate for marine applications), and the inlet to the fuel pump gear pump. The outlet pressure of the electric lift pump (approximately 11 psi) is used to filter fuel passing through the fuel/water separator. The fuel/water separating filter may be located on the engine, or remotely off of the engine. After entering the fuel pump gear pump, fuel flows through internal passages to the high-pressure fuel pump.
For engines without an electric lift pump, a suction side fuel/water separating filter is required. This filter is located off of the engine and contains a hand priming pump. Fuel enters the engine at the ECM cooling plate, if equipped, and then flows to the fuel pump gear pump. Using fuel pump gear pump pressure (approximately 44-189 psi), fuel is filtered using an on-engine or remotely mounted fuel filter prior to entering the high-pressure fuel pump.
The fuel that enters the high-pressure fuel pump is pressurized between 250 and 1800 bar [3626 to 26107 psi] by three radial pumping chambers. An M-Prop valve, or electronic fuel control (EFC) valve, at the inlet to the three radial

Section F - Familiarization
Fuel System - Overview
Page F-7 pumping chambers regulates the volume of fuel that is allowed to enter the pumping chambers. By regulating the volume of fuel that is pressurized, the M-Prop valve uses signals from the ECM to maintain the pressure in the fuel rail at a desired level. Fuel that is not allowed to enter the three radial pumping chambers is directed through the Cascade
Overflow Valve. The Cascade Overflow Valve directs a certain amount of pressure to the lube channels of the high pressure pump and then returns the fuel to the fuel tank.
The fuel rail acts as a fuel manifold accumulating and distributing fuel to each of the injector supply lines. Within the fuel rail, there is a fuel rail pressure sensor that monitors the pressure provided to the fuel rail from the high-pressure fuel pump. Pressure measured by the fuel rail pressure sensor is used by the ECM to adjust the fuel output of the high-pressure pump. The fuel rail also contains a fuel rail pressure relief valve. The fuel rail pressure relief valve is a safety valve used to bleed off excess pressure if the rail pressure exceeds a preset threshold. Fuel bled off by the fuel rail pressure relief valve is returned to the fuel tank through a fuel drain line connected to the fuel rail.
Some engines are equipped with supply and return shut-off valves. Be sure to return these valves to the open position prior to cranking or starting the engine. Failure to do so will result in a high fuel drain restriction capable of: (1)
Damage to the injector pump (2) Fuel entering the crankcase lubricating oil (3) Damage to the fuel cooler, for marine applications only (4) Fuel being pumped into seawater, marine applications only (5) and seawater entering the fuel tanks, marine applications only
Installation Publications
Contact the nearest Cummins Authorized Repair Location for engine fuel system specifications and requirements provided on the Engine Data Sheet for your specific engine and application.
WARNING
The fuel pump, high-pressure fuel lines, and fuel rail contain very high-pressure fuel. Do not loosen any fittings while the engine is running. Personal injury and property damage can result. Wait at least 10 minutes after shutting down the engine before loosening any fittings in the high-pressure fuel system to allow pressure to decrease to a lower level.
CAUTION
Never exceed the maximum capacity of the gauge or flowmeter. Exceeding the maximum capacity will cause the gauge to read incorrectly. If the maximum is exceeded, check the gauge against a reference gauge.

Proper Use of Fuel System Gauges
CAUTION
Do not loosen the vacuum gauge connections when the engine is operating. Doing so can introduce air into the fuel system, causing the engine to run rough or stall.
NOTE: To be sure the pressure gauge reading is correct, always remove the air from the pressure gauge line before taking a reading.
Loosen the connection at the gauge to remove the air.
Read the gauge in direct alignment with the gauge hand.
Portable fuel pressure gauges must be checked regularly against a reference gauge or against the gauge on the fuel pump test stand. Adjust the valve on the gauge until the gauge needle stops vibrating.
NOTE: Always use the same size and material of line or hoses that were originally supplied with the gauge.

The high-pressure common rail system is simple, easy to service, and has many advantages over other fuel systems with regards to troubleshooting and diagnostics.
• Troubleshooting to the exact failed component is simplified.
• Functions normally performed by the fuel system have been split into several components on the high-pressure common rail system, simplifying diagnostics:
• Injection control valve = 6 injectors
• Accumulator = fuel rail
• Distribution module = 6 injector solenoids.
• The injection event is not coupled with a mechanical system such as an injection pump rotor or injection camshaft, ruling out “mis-calibration questions.

Description
Bolts, banjo
Nuts, pump mounting (3)
Pump, fuel injection
Valve, cascade overflow
The QSB5.9-425 utilizes an electric lift pump, which draws fuel from the tank and pressurizes the inlet to a gear pump on the back of the high-pressure injection pump. This lift pump runs continuously during engine operation and will run for 60 seconds at the key on position prior to cranking. The connection between the gear pump and the high-pressure common rail must not be removed or cracked to bleed air from the fuel. Fuel is delivered from the secondary fuel filter to the high-pressure pump where it is pressurized to 1600 bar and sent to the rail. Fuel travels from the rail through a high pressure line through the high-pressure connector and finally through the injector.
Tools required to troubleshoot the common rail system include:
• M10 Compuchek® fittings
• Orificed diagnostic fuel line, 0.043 mm [.002 in]

General Information
WARNING
Fuel is flammable. Keep all cigarettes, flames, pilot lights, arcing equipment, and switches out of the work area and areas sharing ventilation to reduce the possibility of severe personal injury or death when working on the fuel system.
High-pressure common rail fuel systems use solenoidactuated injectors. High-pressure fuel flows into the side of the injector. When the solenoid is activated, an internal needle lifts and fuel is injected. The clearances in the nozzle bore are extremely small and any dirt or contaminants will cause the injector to stick. This is why it is important to clean around all fuel connections before servicing the fuel system. Also, cap or cover any open fuel connections before a fuel system repair is performed.
CAUTION
To reduce the possibility of engine damage, always use the proper torque on the high-pressure line nuts.
High-pressure fuel is supplied to the injector from the fuel rail by an injector supply line and a fuel connector. The fuel connector pushes against the injector body when the fuel connector nut is tightened. The injector supply line is then connected to the fuel connector.
The torque on this fuel connector and the injector supply lines is critical. If the nut or line is undertightened, the surfaces will not seal and a high-pressure fuel leak will result. If the nut is overtightened, the connector and injector will deform and cause a high-pressure fuel leak.
This leak will be inside the head and will not be visible.
The result will be a fault code, low power, or no-start.
The fuel connector contains an edge filter that breaks up small contaminants that enter the fuel system. The edge filter uses the pulsating high pressure to break up any particles so that they are small enough to pass through the injector.
NOTE: The edge filters are not a substitute for cleaning and covering all fuel system connections during repair.
Edge filters are not a substitute for maintaining the recommended engine mounted fuel filter.

Section F - Familiarization
All injectors feed into a common return circuit contained within the cylinder head. Any excess fuel is returned to the tank via this drilling in the cylinder head and return line attached to the rear of the cylinder head. A back-pressure valve is located on the back of the cylinder head where the drain line attaches. The fuel drain lines may have either a quick-disconnect fitting or a banjo fitting at ends of the fuel drain lines.
Each of the fuel drain lines combine together at the fuel return manifold. Some marine applications contain a fuel cooler within the sea water cooling circuit used to cool fuel before returning to the fuel tank. This fuel cooler is located between the fuel return manifold and the connection to the
OEM fuel drain line.
Some engines are equipped with an electric fuel heater mounted between the fuel filter head and a spin-on canister. This fuel heater is actuated by either an internal sensor within the fuel filter heater, or by the electronic control module (ECM).
The electronic control module (ECM) controls the fueling and timing of the engine by actuating the solenoids on the injector. An electronic pulse is sent to the solenoids to lift the needle and start the injection event. By electronically controlling the injectors, there is a more precise and accurate control of fueling quantity and timing. Also, multiple injection events can be achieved by electronically controlling the injectors.
WARNING
The fuel pump, high-pressure fuel lines, and fuel rail contain very high-pressure fuel. Do not loosen any fittings while the engine is running. Personal injury and property damage can result. Wait at least 10 minutes after shutting down the engine before loosening any fittings in the high-pressure fuel system to allow pressure to decrease to a lower level.
CAUTION
Never exceed the maximum capacity of the gauge or flowmeter. Exceeding the maximum capacity will cause the gauge to read incorrectly. If the maximum is exceeded, check the gauge against a reference gauge.

General Information
WARNING
Some state and federal agencies have determined that used engine oil can be carcinogenic and can cause reproductive toxicity. Avoid inhalation of vapors, ingestion, and prolonged contact with used engine oil. If not reused, dispose of in accordance with local environmental regulations.
WARNING
To reduce the possibility of personal injury, avoid direct contact of hot oil with your skin.
Cummins Inc. recommends the use of a high-quality SAE
15W-40 heavy-duty engine oil, such as Cummins
Premium Blue®, which meets the American Petroleum
Institute (API) performance classification CI/SK.
NOTE: The SK designation is required for B series engines. This is due to the fact that all B series engines use sliding tappets.
NOTE: If CI/SK oils are not available, see the appropriate
Operation and Maintenance manual for your engine for alternatives.

CAUTION
Limited use of low-viscosity lubricating oils, such as
10W-30, can aid in starting the engine and providing sufficient lubricating oil flow at ambient temperatures below -5°C [23°F] as shown in the illustration.
However, the continuous use of low-viscosity lubricating oils can decrease engine life.
Oil flow through the engine enters the suction tube and travels into the gerotor-style lubrication pump. The oil is pressurized and fed into the oil cooler cover. Within the cover a pressure-regulating valve regulates the oil to 414 kPa [60 psi]. Excess oil is returned to the suction side of the lubricating oil pump for 3.9L and 5.9L engines and to the oil pan for 4.5L and 6.7L engines. Oil continues through the lubricating oil cooler to the lubricating oil filter bypass valve. The lubricating oil filter bypass valve will open if the pressure across the filter exceeds 345 kPa [50 psi]. Oil leaves the filter and supplies a line to the turbocharger, directed cooling nozzle rifle, and main oil rifle through a drilling between cylinders 1 and 2.
A main rifle runs the length of the block on the fuel pump side of the engine. The rifle supplies lubricating oil to the main bearings and crankshaft. Lubricating oil flows from the main bearings to the cam journals/bushings and piston-cooling nozzles, if equipped. The drilling in the crankshaft supplies lubricating oil to the rod bearings.
Vertical drillings from the cylinder head deck to the main oil rifle supply oil to the cylinder head. Oil passes through the cylinder head gasket and enters the cylinder head.
The drilling continues in the cylinder head to a drilling in the rocker lever pedestal. Internal drillings in the pedestal supply lubricating oil to the rocker shaft, push tube socket, and crosshead pad. A second main lubricating oil rifle runs the length of the cylinder block on the oil cooler side.
This rifle supplies lubricating oil to the directed pistoncooling nozzles, if equipped.
When the diagnosing lubricating system malfunctions, check all obvious items related to oil pressure, such as gauges, high and low oil level, excessive oil contamination, and oil viscosity.

Section F - Familiarization
High lubricating oil pressure occurs after the engine is first started in cold weather. Cold-start oil pressure typically will be approximately 689 to 827 kPa [100 to 120 psi]. If the pressure regulator plunger is operating properly, the oil pressure should drop back to approximately 414 kPa
[60 psi] when normal operating temperature is reached.
The engine will have high oil pressure at normal operating temperature if the lubricating oil pressure regulator valve sticks in the closed position.
Check the regulator for freedom of movement. Refer to
Procedure Procedure 007-029
Low lubricating oil pressure (or no oil pressure) can be caused by several lubricating system-related malfunctions. To begin the investigation, determine the engine operating conditions when the low pressure was first observed. The following are conditions of low lubricating oil pressure:
• Following a service interval
• At idle only
• Operating on a steep grade
• Operating in rough sea.
High lubricating oil level can cause low oil pressure. If the oil level is high enough for the connecting rods to dip into the oil while operating, the oil can become aerated, resulting in low oil pressure.

Section F - Familiarization
Low oil level will not normally appear as low oil pressure.
Typically, it will appear as an intermittent loss of oil pressure when rounding a corner or operating on a steep grade. This condition exists when the oil level is extremely low and the suction tube can not pick up oil during all modes of operation.
A plugged lubricating oil filter will cause a gradual loss of oil pressure by approximately 69 kPa [10 psi]. The pressure will return to normal when the filter bypass valve opens. If not corrected, this will result in severe engine wear, as the engine is running on unfiltered oil when the bypass valve is open.
Check the lubricating oil gauge and sending unit to make sure they are operating correctly by verifying the pressure with a manual gauge.

A steady decrease in oil pressure over a long period can be an indication of worn bearings or excessive lubricating oil pump wear.
Though similar in design and appearance, there are many variations of the lubricating oil pump. Before installing a new lubricating oil pump make sure that the pump is correct for you engine.
Refer to Procedure Procedure 007-031 for removal and installation procedures. See Quickserve Online to determine the correct lubricating oil pump part number.
CAUTION
Using diluted oil can cause severe engine damage.
Check the condition of the lubricating oil:
• Thin, black oil is an indication of fuel in the oil
• Milky discoloration is an indication of coolant in the oil.
Coolant in the oil can be caused by:
• Expansion plugs leaking
• Oil cooler element leaking
• Damaged cylinder head or gasket
• Cracked engine block
• Casting porosity.

Since the lubricating oil cooler design does not require gaskets or seals to maintain the separation of oil and coolant, the element itself must leak to allow mixing of the fluids. Refer to Procedure Procedure 007-003
Lubricating Oil System - Overview

While operating, the oil pressure will be higher than coolant pressure. A leak in the oil cooler will show as oil in the coolant.
However, following an engine shutdown, the residual pressure in the coolant system can cause coolant to seep through the leak path into the oil.
If the oil cooler element ruptures, the oil pressure will force oil into the coolant system.
Oil in the coolant should be visible when the radiator cap is removed. Refer to Procedure Procedure 007-003
To check for leaks, pressurize the cooling system to 140 kPa [20 psi]. With the system pressurized, remove the following components and inspect for leaks:
• Rocker lever cover. Refer to Procedure Procedure
003-011. Leaks indicate a cracked cylinder head.
• Lubricating oil drain plug. Refer to Procedure

Inspect for cracks or any other damage.
Fuel dilution of the lubricating system is generally due to the injector but may also be due to internal damage to the high-pressure pump.
Incomplete combustion in the cylinders can result in unburned fuel draining into the oil pan.
This condition can be caused by a leaking injector or reduced compression caused by inadequate piston ring sealing.
An increase in white exhaust smoke during the first start of the day is a symptom that an injector is leaking.
An injector leak will also cause the engine to run rough and have low power.

Cooling System - Overview (008-999)
General Information
The function of the cooling system is to maintain a specified operating temperature for the engine. Some of the heat generated by the engine is absorbed by the engine coolant flowing through the passages in the cylinder block and cylinder head. Heat is then removed from the engine coolant as it flows through the radiator.
Engine coolant is drawn into an integral water pump and is pressurized. Engine coolant first flows around the oil cooler plates and enters a cavity around the cylinders.
Engine coolant flow continues through holes in the top deck through orifices in the cylinder head gasket. These drillings are around and between each cylinder. Engine coolant flows into the cylinder head and around the valve bridge and injector areas. Engine coolant continues to the exhaust side of the cylinder head past the OEM port locations and to the integral thermostat housing. Before the engine reaches thermostat opening temperature, a bypass port is open to allow engine coolant to enter the suction side of the water pump. Once the engine reaches the thermostat opening temperature, the thermostat opens, allowing the engine coolant to enter the radiator.
This action also closes the bypass passage to the water pump.
On engines with EGR, the vent pipe plug located in the
EGR cooler bundle return must be removed any time the engine is filled with coolant.

Section F - Familiarization
The marine heat exchanger is a two pass, tube design and is located on the exhaust side of the engine. The end cover plates are removable for cleaning the tubes; the cooler bundle is not removable. A sacrificial plug is located in the front cavity of the heat exchanger sea water passage.
The engine coolant flows from the thermostat housing outlet into the top front of the heat exchanger and is directed over the tubes by baffles. The engine coolant exits the cooler at the bottom rear of the heat exchanger.
The engine coolant is then returned to the engine coolant pump inlet via a transfer tube.
The cooling sea water enters the bottom rear of the heat exchanger cavity and is diverted to the lower half of the cooler tubes by a divider plate in the cavity. The sea water flows through the tubes to the front, nondivided cavity.
The sea water then flows through the tubes on the upper half of the cooler and is discharged out of the top rear of the heat exchanger, and into the outer shell of the exhaust elbow. The sea water is then discharged overboard.
Air in the coolant can result in loss of coolant from the overflow when the aerated coolant is hot. The heated air expands, increasing the pressure in the system, causing the cap to open.
Similarly, coolant can be displaced through the overflow if the head gasket leaks compression gas into the coolant system.
The operating pressure of the coolant system and the lubricating system can result in the mixing of the fluids if there is a leak between the systems, such as the head gasket or oil cooler. Refer to Procedure Procedure
007-999 (Lubricating Oil System- Overview).
NOTE: Transmission fluid can also leak into the coolant through radiator bottom tank transmission oil coolers.

Section F - Familiarization
The turbocharger uses exhaust gas energy to turn the turbine wheel. The turbine wheel drives the compressor impeller, which provides pressurized air to the engine for combustion. The additional air provided by the turbocharger allows more fuel to be injected to increase the power output from the engine.
The turbine and compressor wheels share a common shaft (referred to as a rotor assembly), which is supported by two rotating bearings in the bearing housing. Passages in the bearing housing direct filtered, pressurized engine oil to the shaft bearings and thrust bearings. The oil is used to lubricate and cool the rotating components. Oil then drains from the bearing housing to the engine sump through the oil drain line.
Marine Engines
Marine engines utilize a non-wastegate, water-cooled turbocharger. Jacket water is supplied to the turbocharger turbine housing through the wet exhaust manifold and returned to the suction side of the engine coolant pump.
The turbocharger coolant is vented directly to the engine mounted expansion tank.
CAUTION
A restricted oil drain line can cause the turbocharger bearing housing to be pressurized, causing oil to leak past the seal rings.
NOTE: An adequate supply of good filtered oil is very important to the life of the turbocharger. Make sure that a high-quality oil is used and that it and the oil filter are changed according to maintenance recommendations.
See the corresponding Operation and Maintenance, or
Owner's Manual for the engine being serviced.

CAUTION
The turbocharger is a performance part and must not be tampered with. The wastegate bracket is an integral part of the turbocharger. Tampering with the wastegate components can reduce durability by increasing cylinder pressure and thermal loading due to incorrect inlet and exhaust manifold pressure. Poor fuel economy and failure to meet regulatory emission laws can result. Increasing the turbocharger boost will not increase engine power.
Wastegate turbochargers are used to optimize performance.
NOTE: The wastegate design allows maximum boost to be developed quickly while making sure that the turbocharger does not overspeed at higher engine rpm.
Wastegate operation is controlled by an actuator that senses compressor pressure and balances it against a preset spring-load. The wastegate valve is located in the turbine inlet passage. When open, it diverts a portion of the exhaust gas away from the turbine wheel, thereby controlling the shaft speed and boost.
Malfunctioning Turbocharger
WARNING
When using solvents, acids, or alkaline materials for cleaning, follow the manufacturer's recommendations for use. Wear goggles and protective clothing to reduce the possibility of personal injury.
Failure of the internal components of the turbocharger can reduce its effectiveness and also cause excessive smoke and low power. A bearing failure can produce friction, which will slow the speed of the rotor assembly. Failed bearings can also allow the blades of the rotor assembly to rub the housings, reducing the rotor assembly speed.
To inspect for the blade rubbing against the housing, clean the area between the housing and the blades with a cotton-tip swab treated with cleaning solvent. This will remove any dirt that has accumulated on the housing due to the close proximity of the blade path and provide a clean surface for inspection.
Turbocharger wastegate failure or miscalibration of the turbocharger wastegate can result in excessively high- or low-boost pressures. Low-boost pressures can cause excessive smoke and low power. High-boost pressures can cause major engine damage.

Lubricating Oil Consumption and Leaks
Engine lubricating oil is used to lubricate the bearings and provide some cooling for the turbocharger. The lubricating oil supplied to the turbocharger through the supply line is at engine operating pressure. A return line connected to the bottom of the turbocharger routes the lubricating oil back to the engine lubricating oil pan.
Seal rings are used on each end of the rotor assembly.
The primary function of the seals is to prevent exhaust gases and compressed air from entering the turbocharger housing. Lubricating oil leakage from the seals is rare, but it can occur.
NOTE: Excessive crankcase pressure will not allow the oil to drain from the turbocharger. This will load the bearing housing and allow lubricating oil to leak past the seal rings and into the engine and exhaust.
If turbine seal leakage into the exhaust occurs on engines with a catalyst, check the exhaust restriction during the repair.
A restricted or damaged lubricating oil return line will cause the turbocharger housing to be pressurized, causing lubricating oil to migrate past the seal rings on both intake and exhaust sides of the turbocharger.
Additionally, high intake or exhaust restrictions can cause a vacuum between the compressor and the turbocharger housing, resulting in lubricating oil leaking past the seal rings at the compressor (intake) side.
NOTE: If this occurs, it is necessary to flush the charge air cooler to clean oil from the intake system. Refer to
Procedure 010-027 and Refer to Procedure 010-023

Section F - Familiarization
Turbocharger Noise
It is normal for the turbocharger to emit a "whining" sound that varies in intensity depending on engine speed and load. The sound is caused by the very high rotational speed of the rotor assembly and the method used to balance the rotor assembly during manufacturing.
Consequently, the sound will be louder at full speed.
NOTE: If possible, operate the engine at full speed to verify the noise level.
Leaks in the air system intake and/or exhaust components can produce excessive engine noise. A leaking noise usually sounds like high-pitched whining or sucking.
Check for leaks in the intake and exhaust system. Check to make sure all hose clamps are tight. Refer to
Procedure 010-024
Lower pitched sounds or rattles, at slower engine speeds, can indicate that debris is in the system or that the rotor assembly is touching the housings.
Remove the turbocharger inlet and check for foreign objects.
If suspect, check for turbocharger blade damage and bearing clearance. Refer to Procedure 010-033
If leaks, blade damage, or improper clearances are found, replace the turbocharger. Refer to Procedure 010-033

Most engines use a chassis-mounted charge air cooler to improve engine performance and reduce emissions. This system also uses large diameter piping to transfer the air from the engine turbocharger to the charge air cooler, and then returns the air from the charge air cooler to the engine intake manifold.
NOTE: The long-term integrity of the charge air cooling system is the responsibility of the vehicle and component manufacturers.

Compressed Air System - Overview
Page F-51
General Information
Compressed Air System - Overview (012-999)
The compressed air system normally consists of a gear-driven air compressor, an air governor, air tanks, and all necessary plumbing.
The compressor operates continuously but has a "loaded" and "unloaded" operating mode. The operating mode is controlled by a pressure activated governor and the compressor unloader assembly. When the air system reaches a predetermined pressure, the governor applies an air signal to the unloader assembly, causing the unloader to either hold open or shutoff the compressor's intake valve, which causes compressed air to stop flowing into the air system.
As the system is used, the pressure drops. At a predetermined pressure, the governor exhausts the air signal to the compressor unloader assembly, allowing the compressor to again pump compressed air into the system.
Air compressors are available in an air cooled or water cooled version. The only significant difference is that changes have been made to the cylinder head to incorporate a water passage.
Air compressors are also available in turbocharged and naturally aspirated versions. A turbocharged air compressor receives intake air from the intake of the engine. This means the intake air is at the same pressure as the intake of the engine. A naturally aspirated air compressor receives intake air from either the inlet side of the turbocharger or a separate air intake source than the engine. The intake air would be approximately equal ambient air pressure.
Various brands of compressors can be used on the ISB and QSB (4 and 6 cylinder) engines. Troubleshooting procedures are very similar for these air compressors but refer to the compressor manufacturer's manual for information including detailed repair information and torque values.
Most air compressor cylinder heads can be serviced without removing the compressor from the engine. This manual will cover servicing of the cylinder head with the compressor installed on the engine. If there is internal damage to the air compressor, the air compressor must be replaced.
Most air compressors are timed to the engine to reduce vibrations. When removing and installing the air compressor, make sure to reference the air compressor timing Refer to Procedure Procedure 012-014

Engine Testing - Overview (014-999)
General Information
The engine test is a combination of an engine run-in and a performance check. The engine run-in procedure provides an operating period that allows the engine parts to achieve a final finish and fit. The performance check provides an opportunity to perform final adjustments needed to optimize the engine's performance.
An engine test can be performed using either an engine dynamometer or a chassis dynamometer. If a dynamometer is not available, an engine test must be performed in a manner that simulates a dynamometer test.
Check the dynamometer before beginning the test. The dynamometer must have the capability to test the performance of the engine when the engine is operating at the maximum rpm and horsepower range (full power).
The engine crankcase pressure, often referred to as engine blowby, is an important factor that indicates when the piston rings have achieved the correct finish and fit. Rapid changes of blowby or values that exceed specifications more than 50 percent indicate that something is wrong. The engine test must be discontinued until the cause has been determined and corrected.

Troubleshooting Overview
Engine Noise Diagnostic Procedures - General Information
NOTE: When diagnosing engine noise problems, make sure that noises caused by accessories, such as the air compressor and power take-off, are not mistaken for engine noises. Remove the accessory drive belts to eliminate noise caused by these units. Noise will also travel to other metal parts not related to the problem. The use of a stethoscope can help locate an engine noise.
Engine noises heard at the crankshaft speed, engine rpm, are noises related to the crankshaft, rods, pistons, and piston pins. Noises heard at the camshaft speed, one-half of the engine rpm, are related to the valve train. A handheld digital tachometer can help determine if the noise is related to components operating at the crankshaft or camshaft speed.
Engine noise can sometimes be isolated by performing a cylinder cutout test. See Procedure 014-008 in the corresponding Troubleshooting and Repair Manual or Service manual for the engine being worked on. If the volume of the noise decreases or the noise disappears, it is related to that particular engine cylinder.
There is not a definite rule or test that will positively determine the source of a noise complaint.
Engine-driven components and accessories, such as gear-driven fan clutches, hydraulic pumps, belt-driven alternators, air-conditioning compressors, and turbochargers, can contribute to engine noise. Use the following information as a guide to diagnosing engine noise.
Main Bearing Noise
(Refer to Engine Noise Excessive - Main Bearing symptom tree)
The noise caused by a loose main bearing is a loud dull knock heard when the engine is pulling a load. If all main bearings are loose, a loud clatter will be heard. The knock is heard regularly every other revolution. The noise is the loudest when the engine is lugging or under heavy load. The knock is duller than a connecting rod noise. Low oil pressure can also accompany this condition.
If the bearing is not loose enough to produce a knock by itself, the bearing can knock if the oil is too thin, or if there is no oil at the bearing.
An irregular noise can indicate worn crankshaft thrust bearings.
An intermittent sharp knock indicates excessive crankshaft end clearance. Repeated clutch disengagements can cause a change in the noise.
Connecting Rod Bearing Noise
(Refer to Engine Noise Excessive - Connecting Rod symptom tree)
Connecting rods with excessive clearance knock at all engine speeds, and under both idle and load conditions. When the bearings begin to become loose, the noise can be confused with piston slap or loose piston pins. The noise increases in volume with engine speed. Low oil pressure can also accompany this condition.
Piston Noise
(Refer to Engine Noise Excessive - Piston symptom tree)
It is difficult to tell the difference between piston pin, connecting rod, and piston noise. A loose piston pin causes a loud double knock which is usually heard when the engine is idling. When the injector to this cylinder is cut out, a noticeable change will be heard in the sound of the knocking noise. However, on some engines the knock becomes more noticeable when the vehicle is operated on the road at steady speed condition.
Driveability - General Information
Driveability is a term that in general describes vehicle performance on the road. Driveability problems for an engine can be caused by several different factors. Some of the factors are engine-related and some are not .
Before troubleshooting, it is important to determine the exact complaint and whether the engine has a real driveability issue or if it simply does not meet driver expectations. The Driveability/Low-Power Customer Complaint Form is a valuable list of questions that must be used to assist the service technician in determining what type of driveability issue the vehicle is experiencing. Complete the checklist before troubleshooting the issue. The form can be found at the end of this section. If an engine is performing to factory specifications but does not meet the customer's expectations, explain to the customer that nothing is wrong with the vehicle and why.
Low power is a term that is used in the field to describe many different performance issues. However, in this manual low power is defined as the inability of the engine to produce the power necessary to move the vehicle at a speed that

Section TS - Troubleshooting Symptoms can be reasonably expected under the given conditions of load, grade, wind, and so on. Low power is usually caused by the lack of fuel flow that can be caused by any of the following factors:
Lack of full travel of the accelerator pedal
Failed boost sensor, if equipped
Excessive fuel inlet, intake, exhaust, or drainline restriction
Loose fuel pump suction lines.
Low power is the inability of the vehicle to accelerate satisfactorily from a stop or the bottom of a grade. Refer to the symptom tree Engine Power Output Low for the proper procedures to locate and correct a low-power issue. The chart starts off with basic items that can cause lower power.
Poor acceleration or response is described in this manual as the inability of the vehicle to accelerate satisfactorily from a stop or from the bottom of a grade. It can also be the lag in acceleration during an attempt to pass or overtake another vehicle at conditions less than rated speed and load. Poor acceleration or response is difficult to troubleshoot since it can be caused by factors such as:
Engine- or pump-related factors
Driver technique
Improper gear shifting
Improper engine application
Worn clutch or clutch linkage.
Engine-related poor acceleration or response can be caused by several different factors such as:
Failed boost sensor, if equipped
Excessive drainline restriction
Accelerator deadband.

Fuel Consumption - General Information
The cause of excessive fuel consumption is hard to diagnose and correct because of the potential number of factors involved. Actual fuel consumption problems can be caused by any of the following factors:
Engine factors
Vehicle factors and specifications
Environmental factors
Driver technique and operating practices
Fuel system factors
Low-power/driveability problems.
Before troubleshooting, it is important to determine the exact complaint. Is the complaint based on whether the problem is real or perceived, or does not meet driver expectations? The Fuel Consumption - Customer Complaint
Form (on the next page) is a valuable list of questions that can be used to assist the service technician in determining the cause of the problem. Complete the form before troubleshooting the complaint. The following are some of the factors that must be considered when troubleshooting fuel consumption complaints.
1 Result of a Low-Power/Driveability Problem: An operator will change driving style to compensate for a low power/driveability problem. Some things the driver is likely to do are (a) shift to a higher engine rpm or (b) run on the droop curve in a lower gear instead of upshifting to drive at partial-throttle conditions. These changes in driving style will increase the amount of fuel used.
2 Driver Technique and Operating Practices: As a general rule, a 1-mph increase in road speed equals a 0.1 mpg increase in fuel consumption. For example, increasing road speed from 50 to 60 mph will result in a loss of fuel mileage of 1 mpg.
3 Environmental and Seasonal Weather Changes: As a general rule, there can be as much as a 1- to 1.5-mpg difference in fuel consumption depending on the season and the weather conditions.
4 Excessive Idling Time: Idling the engine can use from 0.5 to 1.5 gallons per hour depending on the engine idle speed.
5 Truck Route and Terrain: East/west routes experience almost continuous crosswinds and head winds. Less fuel can be used on north/south routes where parts of the trip are not only warmer, but also have less wind resistance.
6 Vehicle Aerodynamics: The largest single power requirement for a truck is the power needed to overcome air resistance. As a general rule, each 10-percent reduction in air resistance results in a 5-percent increase in mpg.
7 Rolling Resistance: Rolling resistance is the second largest consumer of power on a truck. The type of tire and tread design has a sizable effect on fuel economy and performance. Changing from a bias ply to low-profile radial tire can reduce rolling resistance by about 36 percent.
8 Additional Devices Using the Same Fuel Source: Additional devices may use the same fuel tank as the vehicle.
For example, excessive use of generators or reefers can falsely indicate high fuel consumption.
Additional vehicle factors, vehicle specifications, and axle alignment can also affect fuel consumption. For additional information on troubleshooting fuel consumption complaints, see Troubleshooting Excessive Fuel Consumption,
Bulletin 3387245.

Cause
Engine Noise Excessive - Drive Belt
This is symptom tree t170
STEP 1
Verify which belt drive is producing noise
.............
Correction
If the application uses an accessory belt drive, it is important to verify which belt is making noise. If the noise disappears when the accessory drive belt is removed, the source of the issue is the accessory drive. If it does not change, the source of the noise is the primary drive belt. Continue troubleshooting the drive that is making noise.
Refer to Procedure 008-002 in Section 8.
OK
Go To Next Step
STEP 2
Determine the type of belt noise
.............
There are two types of belt noise: chirping and squealing. A chirping noise is a symptom of misalignment in the system. A squeal noise is a symptom of loss of tension in the system. Use a spray bottle of water to spray the groove side of the belt on the drive producing the noise. If the noise goes away, it is likely a belt chirp. If the noise did not change when water was sprayed on the groove side, spray the flat side of the belt. If the noise continues, or gets worse, it is likely a belt squeal.
OK
Go To Next Step
STEP 3
Determine the engine operating conditions that produce noise
.............
Interview the driver to determine if the noise is continuous. If the noise is not continuous, determine the conditions when the noise is heard.
Unique operating conditions could be the root cause of the belt noise.
OK
Go To Next Step
STEP 4
Isolate the source of the drive belt noise
.............
Use a stethoscope, or equivalent device, to find the source of the noise. Refer to Procedure
008-002 in Section 8. Once the location of the noise has been identified, work in a direction opposite to belt travel ( counterclockwise , for example) at the pulley where the noise originates and work upstream to determine which pulley is causing the noise.
OK
Go To Next Step
STEP 5
Drive belt incorrect, not routed correctly, or damaged
.............
Verify the proper belt part number is installed on the drive producing the noise. Verify the belt tensioner arm stops are in the proper orientation with the drive belt installed. Inspect the belt for cracks, glazing, tears, cuts, and excessive wear.
Inspect the belt grooves for debris, uneven or excessive rib wear, and exposed belt cords. Refer to Procedure 008-002 in Section 8 or the OEM service manual.

Correction
For a fan drive belt, with the belt installed, verify that neither tensioner arm stop is in contact, or within 9.5 mm [3/8 in], of the spring case stop. If either of the stops are touching or within the specified range, replace the belt. Refer to
Procedure 008-002 in Section 8. After replacing the belt, if the tensioner arm stops are still in contact, or within 9.5 mm [3/8 in] of the spring case stop, the tensioner must be replaced. Refer to
Procedure 008-087 in Section 8. With the belt installed, pivot the belt tensioner away from the belt counterclockwise to check for smooth operation. For the accessory drive belt, verify the correct tension is applied. Refer to the OEM service manual.
OK
Go To Next Step
STEP 7
Belt tensioner is inoperative
.............
With the belt removed, verify the belt tensioner pulley bearing on the drive producing noise is functioning properly. Also verify the belt tensioner moves smoothly throughout its travel. Reference the following procedure. Refer to Procedure
008-087 in Section 8.
OK
Go To Next Step
STEP 8
Accessory drive components incorrect or inoperative
.............
Verify all accessory drive components and pulleys are correct. Refer to Procedure 008-002 in Section
8. Rotate all pulleys on the drive which are causing noise to make sure of smooth operation and bearing functionality.
OK
Go To Next Step
STEP 9
Accessory pulley is out of alignment
.............
Verify the drive system pulley alignment with the belt alignment laser tool, Part Number 3163524, or equivalent. Refer to Procedure 008-002 in Section

How to Use This Troubleshooting Procedure:
This symptom tree can be used to troubleshoot all performance-based symptoms listed above. Start by performing
Step 1 troubleshooting. Step 2 will ask a series of questions and will provide a list of troubleshooting steps to perform, depending on the symptom.
Many steps will reference using INSITE™ electronic service tool to check for fault codes, perform tests, monitor data, and check features and parameters. It is recommended that INSITE™ electronic service tool remain connected while using this troubleshooting tree, to periodically check for fault codes. If any fault codes become active during use of the troubleshooting tree, discontinue using this troubleshooting tree and troubleshoot the active fault code.
This symptom tree often references other procedures and symptom trees. The procedures and symptom trees referenced may not be located in the same service literature as this symptom tree. Use the following procedure for a listing of the service literature available for the engine being serviced. Refer to Procedure 205-001 in Section L.
Shop Talk:
Driveability is a term that in general describes vehicle performance on the road. Driveability problems for an engine can be caused by several different factors. Some of the factors are engine-related and some are not . Before troubleshooting, it is important to determine the exact complaint and whether the engine has a real driveability problem or if it simply does not meet driver expectations.
Low power is a term that is used in the field to describe many different performance problems. Low power is defined as the inability of the engine to produce the power necessary to move the vehicle at a speed that can be reasonably expected under the given conditions of load, grade, wind, and so on. With industrial equipment, low power might relate to the inability of the equipment to pick up or maintain load.
Poor acceleration or response is described as the inability of the vehicle to accelerate satisfactorily from a stop or from the bottom of a grade. It can also be the lag in acceleration during an attempt to pass or overtake another vehicle at conditions less than rated speed and load. Poor acceleration or response is difficult to troubleshoot, since it can be caused by several factors.

Shop Talk:
Operational is a term that in general describes vessel performance on the water. Operational problems for an engine can be caused by several different factors. Some of the factors are engine-related and some are not . Before troubleshooting, it is important to determine the exact complaint and whether the engine has a real operational problem or if it simply does not meet owner expectations.
Low power is a term that is used in the field to describe many different performance problems. Low power is defined as the inability of the engine to produce the power necessary to move the vessel at a speed that can be reasonably expected under the given environment.
Poor acceleration or response is described as the inability of the vessel to accelerate satisfactorily from a stop. It can also be the lag in acceleration at conditions less than rated speed and load. Poor acceleration or response is difficult to troubleshoot, since it can be caused by several factors.

Shop Talk:
Driveability is a term that in general describes vehicle performance on the road. Driveability problems for an engine can be caused by several different factors. Some of the factors are engine-related and some are not . Before troubleshooting, it is important to determine the exact complaint and whether the engine has a real driveability problem or if it simply does not meet driver expectations.
Low power is a term that is used in the field to describe many different performance problems. Low power is defined as the inability of the engine to produce the power necessary to move the vehicle at a speed that can be reasonably expected under the given conditions of load, grade, wind, and so on. With industrial equipment, low power might reference the inability of the equipment to pick up or maintain load.
Poor acceleration or response is described as the inability of the vehicle to accelerate satisfactorily from a stop or from the bottom of a grade. It can also be the lag in acceleration during an attempt to pass or overtake another vehicle at conditions less than rated speed and load. Poor acceleration or response is difficult to troubleshoot since it can be caused by several factors.

1) What is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) make/model?
2) What are the mileage/hours?
3) Has there been any recent repair and/or maintenance history?
• Any engine/clutch/transmission rebuild, removal, and installation?
• History of repeatedly broken brackets and/or capscrews (alternator, fan, exhaust, etc.)?
• Structural modifications to the vehicle from OEM built?
4) Description of vibration?
• What is shaking (mirror, seat, steering wheel, cab/dash, etc.)?
• Is there excessive noise in the cab during the vibration?
5) What are the conditions when the complaint occurs?
• Power take-off (PTO)?
• Power output (hard pull, during lug down, etc.)?
• During acceleration and/or deceleration?
• At idle?
• With or without a trailer?
• Does vibration increase with engine speed?
• Does vibration increase with road speed?
• Is the vibration at a certain engine revolutions per minute (rpm)?
6) Has the vibration been present since new? (From new, recent repair, modification to equipment)
7) Can the vibration be easily duplicated?
8) Do you have another piece of equipment with the same specification which exhibits the same complaint? (If yes, get the engine serial number (ESN) and possibly test the vehicle)
9) Are you the only operator of the equipment? (If no, are the symptoms noticed by other operators)?
General Information
Vibration complaints can be very difficult to troubleshoot and understand the root cause. This troubleshooting document was designed to help guide you through the logical steps of identifying the source. Vibration acceptance is very subjective; what is objectionable to one person can possibly be acceptable to another.
Vibration complaints can be caused by many parts in the system (system includes the engine, driven component, mounts, and equipment). The cause can be transmitted or generated from a remote point that is not readily apparent.
Cummins Inc. experience has shown that the engine is rarely the cause of an operator complaint. The majority of the time, it is the engine mounts or design of the various components on the equipment. The engine is only at fault if there is a misfire or an engine component that is out of balance.
Vibration complaints that occur only at idle speed are most likely caused by the engine mounts. If the engine mount natural frequency is close to the engine firing frequency, the engine will cause the mounts to amplify the normal vibration on an engine idling and cause the adjacent components to vibrate excessively.
Natural Frequency
• Natural frequency, as the name implies, is the frequency at which an object wants to naturally vibrate. The frequency is primarily dependent on mass and elasticity.

Vibration Excessive
Page TT-142
ISB, ISBe and QSB (Common Rail [...]
Section TT - Troubleshooting Symptoms (New Format)
1) Linear a) Rotating components b) Torque reaction
• Caused by unbalanced rotating components and cylinder firing impulses.
• Can be felt and observed visibly.
• When excessive, can cause operator discomfort and destruction of components.
2) Torsional - twisting stresses
• Cyclic speeding and slowing of rotating components.
• Controlled by flywheel mass and vibration damper.
• Can NOT be felt by the operator.
• Can damage gears and splines.
3) Resonant - component excited at natural frequency
• Is actually linear vibration.
• Resonant vibration occurs when a system or component is excited by linear vibration at its natural frequency.
• Vibration will increase in amplitude as the system's natural frequency is approached. Amplitude will decrease as the exciting forces (engine firing frequency) increase in frequency beyond the system's natural frequency.
• Resonant vibration can be many times larger in amplitude than the exciting force.
• Vibration must be controlled by design of mounts (engine and cab) and components.
Engine and Cab Mounts
• The mounts must be designed to isolate or reduce the transmission of engine and equipment component vibrations.
• For maximum isolation, it is desired that the natural frequency of the mount be as low as possible.
• Good engine mounts will reduce the amount of engine vibration transmitted to the chassis frame by at least 50 percent at idle.
• Hard engine mounts will give little or no isolation, and can actually magnify the vibration transmitted to the chassis.
• Stiffness (durometer) and size of the isolator, along with the weight of the engine or component applied, are the determining factors when designing a mounting system. An isolator that is correct for one engine, can possibly not be right for another. Likewise, because of weight differential, a particular isolator designed for the rear of an engine, probably will not be ideal for the front.

• 0 vehicle speed.
Action
Perform a slow (at 100 rpm per second) rpm sweep and observe where the vibration occurs.
Does the vibration increase progressively from idle to maximum speed? If so, rotating or reciprocating unbalance is the source. This can be caused by any rotating components or engine mount isolation.

Action
Perform a slow (at 100 rpm per second) rpm sweep and observe where the vibration occurs.
This step is to identify if the vibration progressively increases with engine speed or if it starts and stops within a slow engine rpm band.
If the vibration progressively increases with engine speed and has a peak band greater than
300 rpm, this can indicate a rotating component that is out of balance.
If the vibration peak is in a tight band of approximately 300 to 400 rpm or less, this indicates that a structural component of the engine or equipment is going into resonance because its natural frequency is close to or the same as the engine firing frequency.

Cylinder Head Gasket (002-021)
Measure
For engines requiring cylinder head gasket grading, measure piston protrusion.
NOTE: This procedure is only required after a piston, crankshaft, connecting rod, or block replacement.
Otherwise, use the same grade gasket that was previously installed.
4.5L, 6.7L, and QSB5.9L Marine engines do not use graded gaskets.
Install depth gauge assembly, Part Number 3164438, on the block combustion deck and zero the gauge.
Use a barring tool, Part Number 3824591, to rotate the crankshaft to top dead center.
Move the dial indicator directly over the piston pin to eliminate any side-to-side movement.

Rotate the crankshaft clockwise and counterclockwise to find the highest dial indicator reading.
Record the reading.
Repeat on the remaining cylinders.
Calculate the average height by adding all numbers recorded and dividing by the number of cylinders.
Record the number calculated. This number will be used to determine which grade of cylinder head gasket to use.
Each graded cylinder head gasket has a grade identification tab that indicates the thickness of the cylinder head gasket, thick or thin.
The location of the tab will vary according to the type of engine.
CAUTION
The cylinder head gaskets for 5.9 L engines without
EGR and 5.9 L engines with EGR with oversize pistons or repair sleeve may visually appear similar, but the cylinder head gaskets can not be interchanged. Engine damage will result.
3.9L and 5.9L engines without EGR will have the grade identification tab on the exhaust side of the cylinder head gasket between cylinders 3 and 4 for 4 cylinder engines and between cylinders 5 and 6 for 6 cylinder engines.
5.9L engines with EGR, that have had oversize pistons or repair sleeves installed, will also have the identification tab on the exhaust side between cylinders 5 and 6.
The thickness of the cylinder head gasket can be determined by the location of the holes in the cylinder head gasket grade identification tab. For thin cylinder head gaskets (A), the holes are spaced close together.
For thick cylinder head gaskets (B), the holes are more widely spaced.

CAUTION
For 5.9 L engines with EGR, when using oversize pistons or repair sleeves a service specific cylinder head gasket must be used to make sure proper sealing of the combustion seal ring is acquired.
Failure to use the correct cylinder head gasket can result in engine damage.
Only 5.9L engines with EGR have a service cylinder head gasket available when oversize pistons or repair sleeves are installed. The production cylinder head gasket combustion ring is not completely circular. The service gasket has an increased diameter combustion seal. This gasket must be used to make sure proper sealing of the combustion seal ring is acquired.
QSB 5.9 Marine 425 engines have a special cylinder head gasket that accommodates this engine's cylinder pressure requirements.
This gasket can be identified by:
• Witness marks at the front edge and front side of the gasket.
• Cummins Inc.'s “C's” printed on the gasket surface in dark blue ink.
QSB5.9 Marine gaskets do not have graded gaskets or service gaskets for oversize bores.
A new gasket must be installed. Do not reuse an old gasket.

General Information
WARNING
Do not remove the pressure cap from a hot engine. Wait until the coolant temperature is below 50°C [120°F] before removing the pressure cap. Heated coolant spray or steam can cause personal injury.
WARNING
Coolant is toxic. Keep away from children and pets. If not reused, dispose of in accordance with local environmental regulations.
CAUTION
After 24 months in storage, the engine cooling system must be drained and flushed with a suitable solvent or a hot, lightweight mineral oil. Repeat flushing procedure a second time before being put back into service.
This procedure describes the proper method for the long-term (more than 6 months) storage of an engine that is currently in running condition. This procedure applies to this engine either remaining in chassis - or being removed out of chassis upon completion of the steps below.
Prepare the Engine for Long Term Storage
CAUTION
DO NOT use fuel system preservative oil on Natural Gas or Propane Engines.
• Operate the engine at high idle until the coolant temperature is 70°C [158°F].
• Turn the engine off.
• Drain the oil.
• Install the drain plugs.
• Fill the engine oil pan sump to the high mark using Tectyl™ 910 or equivalent engine preservative oil. This will provide long term engine rust protection. The oil must meet military specification MIL-PRF-21260, Type P-10,
Grade 2, SAE 30.
Internal Preservation of the Fuel System with Mechanically and Electronically Actuated Injectors.
CAUTION
DO NOT use diesel fuel containing bio components for internal preservation of fuel system for engine storage. Fuel properties degradation may cause damages and lead to premature failure of fuel system components.
• Disconnect the fuel lines to the engine fuel filter and the injector return line.
• Use Diesel Pump and Injector calibration fluid that meets ISO 4113 standard, SAE J967d standard and Bosch VS
15665-OL standard.
NOTE: Using calibration fluid allows storage for up to 12 months. After 12 months the engine fuel system must be drained and flushed again with fresh calibration fluid. Repeat after each 12-month period.
Alternatively you can use the diesel fuel with 0 percent bio components content for Internal Preservation of the Fuel
System.

NOTE: Using diesel fuel with 0 percent bio components content allows storage for up to 6 months. After 6 months, the engine fuel system must be drained and be flushed again with fresh diesel fuel with 0 percent bio components content. Repeat after each 6-month period.
• Start the engine.
• After the engine is operating smoothly, transfer the fuel supply line to the container of calibration fluid or the container of diesel fuel with 0 percent bio components content.
• Let the engine run for approximately 25 minutes at low idle in order to ensure that the engine preservative oil
(Tectyl™ 910 E or equivalent) is distributed around the engine and its internal components and that the calibration fluid or the diesel fuel with 0 percent bio components content flows out of the injector return line.
• Turn the engine "OFF".
• Connect the fuel lines to the fuel filter and the injector return line.
• Drain all the preservative oil from the engine oil pan sump, the air compressor (if applicable), and drain all the oil filters and all the fuel filters.
• Install the drain plugs.
CAUTION
Before starting another Internal Preservation of the Fuel System procedure again (after passing a storage period ) it is required to fill the engine oil pan sump to the high mark using Tectyl™ 910 or equivalent engine preservative oil.
• If the engine is being stored as a loose engine, drain the engine coolant and cover all cooling system openings with plastic and tape.
• If the engine is not being removed from chassis and the engine has an extended life coolant with rust inhibitor, then coolant does not need to be drained.
• If the engine will remain in storage for over 24 months, the engine cooling system must be drained and flushed with a suitable solvent or a hot, lightweight mineral oil. Repeat after each 24-month period.
• Remove the intake and exhaust manifolds.
• Spray preservative oil into the intake and exhaust ports in the cylinder heads and in the exhaust manifolds only .
Do not use preservative oil on the intake manifold or any fuel system components as this may permanently damage sensors or valves.

Camshaft Bushings (001-010)
General Information
Some engines are only built with a camshaft bushing installed in the first camshaft bore on the same side of the engine that the camshaft is removed and installed (front gear train engines, at the front of the engine and rear gear trains, at the rear of the engine). Some engines also have a second camshaft bushing at the opposite end of the engine from which the camshaft was removed and installed.
From production, there are no camshaft bushings installed in the inner block camshaft journal bores. If the inner block camshaft journal bores are damaged, the journal bores can be machined for camshaft bushings. See the
Clean and Inspect for Reuse step of this procedure for specifications.
Preparatory Steps
WARNING
Batteries can emit explosive gases. To reduce the possibility of personal injury, always ventilate the compartment before servicing the batteries. To reduce the possibility of arcing, remove the negative
(-) battery cable first and attach the negative (-) battery cable last.
Disconnect the batteries.
WARNING
To avoid the possibility of personal injury, avoid direct contact of hot oil with your skin.
WARNING
Some state and federal agencies have determined that used engine oil can be carcinogenic and cause reproductive toxicity. Avoid inhalation of vapors, ingestion, and prolonged contact with used engine oil. If not reused, dispose of in accordance with local environmental regulations.

For rear gear train engines, the disposable plastic driver that comes with the new rear crankshaft seal is designed to be used with two types of seals.
• A double outer dust lip rear crankshaft seal - for this type of seal, the side of the disposable driver (1) with the large chamfer on the inner diameter must be used to contact the seal.
• A single outer dust lip rear crankshaft seal - for this type of seal, the side of the disposable driver (2) with the small chamfer on the inner diameter must be used to contact the rear crankshaft seal.
NOTE: It can be necessary to lightly tap the rear crankshaft seal with a plastic hammer, without the disposable seal driver, to help start the rear crankshaft seal in the flywheel housing bore.
With the rear crankshaft seal installed onto the crankshaft flange as described earlier in this procedure. Use the appropriate disposable seal driver that comes with each new rear crankshaft seal to install the crankshaft seal to the correct depth in the housing.
Use a plastic hammer to drive the crankshaft seal into the housing until the alignment tool stops against the housing.
Hit the tool at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock positions to drive the crankshaft seal evenly and to prevent bending the seal carrier.

Cylinder Block (001-026)
General Information
The cylinder block uses bored cylinders as opposed to liners. In the event of damage or wear out, the cylinders may be able to be repaired.
For engines displacing 3.9L and 5.9L, the cylinders can be bored oversize twice for the use of oversize pistons and rings (0.5 mm [0.020 in]) and 1 mm [0.040 in] oversize). A repair sleeve can also be installed if the cylinder bore must be bored more than 1 mm [0.040 in] oversize. See the Overbore and/or Repair Sleeve section of this procedure.
NOTE: For 5.9L engines with exhaust gas recirculation
(EGR) and Marine applications, if boring the cylinder bores oversize or installing repair sleeves, a service specific head gasket must be used to make sure of proper sealing of the combustion seal.
For engines displacing 4.5 L and 6.7 L, the cylinders can only be bored oversize once for the use of oversize pistons and rings (0.5 mm [0.020 in] oversize). A repair sleeve can be installed if the cylinder bore must be bored more than 0.5 mm [0.020 in] oversize. See the Overbore section of this procedure.
Initial Check
Prior to removing the piston and connecting rod assemblies, measure and record piston protrusion. Refer to Procedure 001-054 in Section 1.

Section 1 - Cylinder Block - Group 01
Deglaze:
Deglazing gives the cylinder bore the correct surface finish required to seat the piston rings. Deglazing must only be performed if the cylinder bores are still in specification.
NOTE: New piston rings will not seat in glazed cylinder bores.
Use a ball-type hone and a rotational speed of 300 to 400
RPM with a stroke frequency of one stroke up and down per second. Make sure to use a good grade of honing oil or a mixture of equal parts SAE 30W engine oil and diesel fuel for a honing lubricant.
NOTE: Vertical strokes must be smooth, continuous passes along the full length of the cylinder bore.
Inspect the cylinder bore after 10 strokes.
NOTE: The crosshatch angle is a function of drill speed and how fast the hone is moved vertically. Moving too fast or too slow will give an incorrect crosshatch angle.
A correctly deglazed surface will have a crosshatched appearance with the lines at 25- to 30-degree angles with the top of the cylinder block.
Overbore:
If the cylinder bore was found out of specification or damaged, the cylinder bore can be refinished for oversize pistons and piston rings.
Boring must be done by qualified personnel on a suitable boring machine. Care must be taken to make sure the cylinders are perpendicular to the combustion deck and within taper and out-of-round specifications for the cylinder bore.
Follow the boring machine manufacturer's recommendations for machine setup to achieve the best quality bore.

General Information
Depending on engine rating and application, the engine may be equipped with one of two types of piston cooling nozzle configurations:
1 Saddle Jet Piston Cooling Nozzle
2 J-jet Piston Cooling Nozzle
Saddle jet piston cooling nozzles are typically used in lower power applications and are located in the main bearing saddle on the block side. Oil is supplied from the main bearing. Cylinder blocks using saddle jet piston cooling nozzles may be machined for J-jet piston cooling nozzles as well. If this is the case, capscrews are required to be installed in the J-jet piston cooling nozzle location.
J-jet piston cooling nozzles are located in between the main bearing saddles on the exhaust side of the engine.
Oil is supplied from an oil gallery in the block on the exhaust side of the engine. Cylinder blocks using J-jet piston cooling nozzles may be machined for saddle jet piston cooling nozzles as well. If this is the case, plugs are required to be installed in the saddle jet piston cooling nozzle location.
NOTE: 4.5 L and 6.7 L engine are only equipped with J-jet piston cooling nozzles. The cylinder blocks for these engines are not machined for saddle jet piston cooling nozzles. No saddle jet plugs are necessary.

Piston Rings (001-047)
Failure Analysis Inspection
Inspect the piston rings for the following:
• Abrasive wear.
NOTE: Abrasive wear of the intermediate ring can be indicated by a rapid reduction of the dark finish coating on the front face of the ring, in some cases, to the point where the dark finish coating is no longer visible (A). This is commonly referred to as full face ring wear. This rapid reduction will typically leave a sharp edge on the bottom of the intermediate ring. Abrasive wear can also be indicated by concentrated vertical scratches on the top ring (B).
Abrasive wear can be caused by:
1 Ingested abrasive material
2 Inadequate cleaning during a previous repair
3 Particles embedded in the bore
4 High soot content in the lubricating oil from extended oil drain intervals
5 Scuffing and scoring.

ISB, ISBe and QSB (Common Rail [...]
Section 1 - Cylinder Block - Group 01
NOTE: Scuffing and scoring is indicated by heavy scratches, metal discoloration, and voids (B).
Scuffing and scoring can be caused by:
1 Engine overheating
2 Oil dilution
3 Improper maintenance of the lubrication system
4 Piston cooling nozzle malfunction
5 Oil ring plugged by deposits.
NOTE: Scuffing and scoring on the piston rings indicates a breakdown of the oil film on the cylinder bore wall, causing transfer of material from the piston ring face to the cylinder bore.
NOTE: Oil ring plugging is indicated by deposits on the oil ring grooves (B).
Oil ring plugging can be caused by:
1 Low engine operating temperatures - long periods of idling or a cooling system malfunction
2 Extended oil change intervals
3 Use of wrong grade of engine oil
4 Use of a poor quality engine oil.
NOTE: Plugging of the oil ring drains restricts oil drain back, which floods the piston ring belt area, resulting in a loss of oil control.
NOTE: The following measurements are intended for inspecting new piston rings.
NOTE: Before completing this inspection, make sure the cylinder bore is within specification. Refer to Procedure
001-026 in Section 1.
Measure the piston ring gap by installing the piston rings into the cylinder bore in which they will used. Position the rings below the ring reversal area by positioning each ring in the cylinder 89 mm [3.5 in] below the top deck (A), and use a piston to square it with the bore.
The piston ring type and location can be identified by piston ring profile.
1 Top piston ring
2 Intermediate piston ring
3 Oil control ring.

NOTE: In order to remove the valve springs with the cylinder head installed, the piston of the cylinder being worked on must be brought to TDC to support the valves.
Use the barring tool, Part Number 3824591, rotate the piston to the top dead center on the cylinder being worked on.
TDC can be determined by the following methods:
For 3.9L and 5.9L Engines without EGR (except Marine applications):
Align the crankshaft speed indicator ring on the front of the crankshaft so that the unpunched area of the crankshaft speed indicator ring is at the 12-o'clock position. If both number 1 cylinder rocker levers are loose, move to the following steps. If both number 1 cylinder rocker levers are not loose, rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees.
For all 4.5L, 5.9L engines with EGR, 5.9L engines used in
Marine Applications, and 6.7L engines.
NOTE: The TDC mark is on the vibration damper/ crankshaft speed indicator ring. Do not use the open window in the crankshaft speed indicator ring as TDC indication.
Align the vibration damper/crankshaft speed indicator ring so that the TDC mark is at the 12-o'clock position. If both number 1 cylinder rocker levers are loose, move to the following steps. If both number 1 cylinder rocker levers are not loose, rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees.
With the vibration damper/crankshaft speed indicator ring at TDC for the number 1 cylinder, mark the damper for the location of TDC for the other cylinders.
For six cylinder engines:
• Mark the vibration damper every 120 degrees with a marker directly on the damper or to a piece of masking tape applied directly around the damper.
Service Tip: A protractor, camshaft degree wheel or angle/level indicator, Part Number 3375855, can be used to locate 120 degree increments around the vibration damper/crankshaft speed indicator ring.
• Mark the damper with the TDC indicator for each cylinder as shown. Two cylinders correspond to each
120-degree line.

Overhead Set (003-004)
General Information
Overhead setting is only required at the interval specified in the appropriate Operation and Maintenance Manual/
Owners Manual or when engine repairs cause removal of the rocker levers and/or loosening of the adjusting screws.
Excessive valve lash prior to this can indicate an overhead set incorrectly from a previous repair, worn valve stems, crossheads, push rods, or rocker levers*.
Loose rocker levers and the need to reset the valve clearance frequently can also indicate camshaft lobe or tappet wear. If an inspection of the rocker levers, valve stems, crossheads, and push rod does not show wear, then tappet and/or camshaft lobe wear can be suspected.
Refer to Procedure 001-008 in Section 1. Refer to
Procedure 004-015 in Section 4.
Preparatory Steps
WARNING
Batteries can emit explosive gases. To reduce the possibility of personal injury, always ventilate the compartment before servicing the batteries. To reduce the possibility of arcing, remove the negative

Adjust
NOTE: Engine coolant temperature must be less than
60°C [140°F].
NOTE: For marine engines equipped with a TDC mark on the vibration damper, use the Adjust step for All
Applications Except Marine.
NOTE: For marine engines not equipped with a TDC mark on the vibration damper, use the Adjust step for
Marine Applications.
Use the barring tool, Part Number 3824591 to rotate the crankshaft until the number 1 cylinder is at TDC.
TDC can be determined by the following methods:
For 3.9 L and 5.9 L Engines without EGR, align the crankshaft speed indicator ring on the front of the crankshaft so that the unpunched area of the crankshaft speed indicator ring is at the 12-o'clock position. If both number 1 cylinder rocker levers are loose, move to the following steps. If both number 1 cylinder rocker levers are not loose, rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees.
NOTE: The TDC indicator is on the vibration damper/ crankshaft speed indicator ring.
For all 4.5 L, 5.9 L engines with EGR, and 6.7 L engines, align the vibration damper/crankshaft speed indicator ring so that the TDC indicator is at the 12-o'clock position. If both number 1 cylinder rocker levers are loose, move to the following steps. If both number 1 cylinder rocker levers are not loose, rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees.
NOTE: If no TDC mark is present on either the vibration damper or the crankshaft speed indicator ring, align the large gap in the crankshaft speed indicator ring to the 5o'clock position (2). The dowel pin could also be visible in the 9-o'clock position (1). Check that both number 1 cylinder rocker levers are loose. If they are not loose, rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees and recheck.

2 One or two capscrew(s) directly mount the breather tube connection to the rocker lever cover. Remove the capscrew(s) to disconnect the breather tube connection from the rocker lever cover.
NOTE: Some breather tube connections use internal torx capscrews to secure the breather tube connection to the rocker lever cover.
If equipped, at the rear of the rocker lever cover, remove the banjo bolt and sealing washers connecting the breather oil drain line to the rocker lever cover.
NOTE: Not all engines with an internal mounted crankcase breather are equipped with an external breather oil drain line. On some engines the breather oil drain line is internal to the breather connection tube (1).

Closed-Crankcase Ventilation System
Filter (003-020)
Initial Check
The closed-crankcase system has three major parts.
1 The air cleaner assembly (filters the incoming air) and a oil blow-by filter element called a coalescing filter.
2 Vacuum brake assembly; this keeps the engine from drawing oil directly into the turbocharger if the air cleaner is plugged.
3 Closed-crankcase drain plumbing; this includes the drain hoses and check valve. The check valve prevents crankcase pressure from flowing backwards in the air cleaner.
This procedure covers the closed-crankcase ventilation system filter only . Refer to Procedure 010-013 for instructions on removing, cleaning and inspecting, and installing other components of the complete assembly.
Check the restriction gauge on the air filter assembly. If the gauge is red, the air filter element must be cleaned or replaced. Refer to Procedure 010-013
Preparatory Steps
Remove the air filter. Refer to Procedure 010-013
Remove
Remove the o-ring from the closed-crankcase breather element assembly.
